MLS Playoff Odds

5
Lots of people complain that the biggest thing against soccer is the lack of stats. Americans love their stats and honestly I can't blame them. Other sports are full of them and soccer does lack some statistical value to some people. Well, today I found a site that puts the math to the test and helps [. Click to continue reading...

WVH Power Rankings: Sorting Out The Mess

3
A lot can change in one week. You can go from sitting on top of the world to forth or fifth place. It doesn't take much to change you place in line, just ask any Olympian. It's no different in the world of soccer, especially in a parity driven MLS. We've gotten 21 games in the [...] Click to continue reading...

Monday Kicker: Dogging The West

1
Let's just say things out west aren't as good as they've been in years past. There's been plenty of talk today all over the soccer blogosphere about how bad the western conference is in Major League Soccer. Most of you already know my feelings on the western side of the ball compared to the eastern [. Click to continue reading...

Weekend Recap: East Still Owning The West

0
I guess something really never change here now do they? In one weekend we've seen a conference just utterly dominate the other. Then again, all season the eastern conference has practically owned the western conference like we've never seen before. Lucky for the western clubs this season three get an automatic bid into the playoffs, [. Click to continue reading...

KC Stadium Issues

3
For months we've been waiting around to hear a final word of sorts that the Kansas City Wizards new stadium would be good to go for construction. It appears some more snags have gotten in the way of that initial construction starting up. An article came out today in the KC Business Journal talking about the [. Click to continue reading...

WVH Watch List: Coaching Hot Seat

3
There really is no need to brag about getting something as right as saying a coach should be fired at anytime in the year. I know other sites will say they called it and what not but I like everyone else knew Fernando Clavijo's time in Colorado was about two years too long. So with that [...] Click to continue reading...

WVH Power Rankings: New Top Dog

11
Two-third of the way through the season and things are still a complete mess in Major League Soccer. This may be the closest season we have seen in a long time, if ever. Mainly because of parity and because from week to week we just never know what will exactly happen like we think we [...] Click to continue reading...

Weekend Recap: Dynamo and Crew on Top

0
It's amazing how one weekend can change the landscape of things in Major League Soccer. That's exactly what happened in week 21. A couple big time wins by a couple clubs and a couple big time upsets. What was also amazing was probably the goals too, loads of sweet shots all over the fields. But at the [. Click to continue reading...

Updated: MLS Allocation List

You all have asked, now you all shall receive. Here is an updated MLS Allocation list fresh off the trade between New England and Toronto.

Yesterday was the final day of the summer transfer window. A few moves went down so I figued it would be a good time to update this list again. As always feel free to let me know if something is out of place. This is just in-season movement, stuff from pre-season won't be included. Chicago Fire Incoming: Brian McBride [.

MLS Weekend Preview: Breaking Through

0
I think this weekend will be all about breaking through the mold or crumbling even more for some MLS clubs. The gridlock in the middle of the standing should lighten up a bit here as well. We are right at that two-thirds mark of the season and this season has proved that everyone is nearly [...] Click to continue reading...

The Playoff Line: 38 Points Or Bust

Its mid-August and that means that it is not only hot out side but the MLS playoff race is heating up with every game.

WVH Power Rankings: Closing The Gap

Boy things sure are getting tight in the MLS standings. In a year full of parity, some clubs could be staring at no playoffs then to only win a single game and then jump five or six spots up the standings in a given week. We keep seeing that time and time again with how [...] Click to continue reading...

Early Projected 2009 SuperDraft Order

I suppose it is never too early to start looking ahead to next January's SuperDraft. I've started compiling a list of what should be the projected order in that draft. I will continue to update this list up until the official list is released by the league (probably a couple weeks before the draft knowing [. Click to continue reading...

Weekend Recap: Eastern Clubs Dominate

1
A short week was week 20 in Major League Soccer. Only four games of action and all were won by eastern clubs. Some wins were bigger than others while some clubs continue to stumble. The biggest story had to be Chicago's come-from-behind win over New England. The best game of the weekend for sure had a [. Click to continue reading...

Just a couple new moves to mention on this list. I will try to get this updated as much as I can before the transfer window closes here in the coming days (August 15 I believe).

Just when I thought the league was going back to their normal weekend routine, they throw another curve at me in the schedule. After no Thursday night game we are only left with four games this weekend. What gives?! Well, I won't complain too much here since the Olympics have started up (gotta love me [.

Where Will Cunningham Go?

5
This is starting to be a bit of a saga here, the funky relationship between Toronto FC manager John Carver and striker Jeff Cunningham. I've been saying for months really that Cunningham would be on his way out and it appears that way. Lots of talk around the league right now about where exactly Toronto will [.

MLS Media Talk

Sometimes I am amazed at how much information there is out there on this ol' internet thing that we love to play on each day. The information all comes from various places like TV, radio, newspapers, blogs, etc. Then sometimes there is that lack of media or lack of information that can be down right surprising.
